Most of the ratings you find are from the older university. But so much has changed in the last two years. UTB's Campus is absolutely gorgeous and the professors are very accessible. I transferred from a private school and this feels very much the same. The student body is very involved with their community and does a lot of volunteer work and projects. Their is a strong community of foreign students as well as really nice clubs. Also the dorms are new and clean and for being such a big school, eventually you get to meet everyone and it's like a big family.Also they are going through a merger so fall 2015 it will be call UT-RGV..

A lot has changed at this university since the split of the local community college. And all that change has been for the better! it's a very nice campus with good professors. Great volleyball and soccer team and many international students. i think this school gets a bad rap, and from people that no longer go here! like i have said! its a great school.
